pretty sure i know this answer, but i just got a pair of beeswax DB and got what is usually a size down, however it is REALLY hard to get on my feet. Right at the bend in the tongue, there just isnt room for my foot. Once I get my foot inside, it fits, but it s tight. Im guess that that is more tight than snug, ie. wrong size? I guess I'll go a whole size bigger, same size as my Wallabees (which are just ever so slightly big) and my Clarks dress shoes (same thing).

Was wearing them around around the house for a while without waterproofing them. While washing my hands, a few drops of water dripped onto them and left an ugly dark stain. When I tried to wipe it away with a clean white towel, the stain only got bigger.

The light coloured suede seems to be rather delicate. I am not terribly worried about it, but there might be a way of removing the stain. Any suggestions?

I'm never buying them in sand if that's the case, I'd be forever walking on egg shells with them. I got my taupe dirty and cleaned it with a wet cloth, then realized I had to wet the whole shoe or it would look uneven.

Raw denim fades. It starts dark as hell and then it will get nice characteristic fades. The indigo that gets out of the denim has to go somewhere, right? And that somewhere can be anything from chairs, to saddles to shoes to whatever it gets in touch with a few times. if you have light colored shoes, they will get blue stains from your denim.

Washing your denim helps against this problem, you got that right! But raw denim.... and ... washing? The whole concept of raw denim is NOT washing it for a looooong time. So that leaves us with 3 options;

Yeah I know about raw denim but you still wash it at least once to prevent all the honeycombs and fade lines moving up your legs from the shrinkage which looks retarded if you don't wash it before wearing it.

Anyways I picked up a pair of clarks desert boots off amazon in taupe for £54 ($70) so saved myself £25 and the clarks shop didn't even know about Taupe, he spent half an hour looking for that colour on their systems and I had to show him it on my phone cause he wouldn't believe me. I walked in with the taupe yesterday and he said it's the best colour he's seen and he's getting a pair now.

I have a few question on applying obenauf LP on the CDB. do you use a soft cloth, sponge or ur bare hand to apply it? How much LP is needed and how many coat is recommended? Just got my boots. Loving them hahha. Thanks
